You can do anything you want in response to an ad click event.... Below is a sample code snippet that will play a video:

Sub PlayAdVideo()
             videoScreen = CreateObject("roVideoScreen")
             port = CreateObject("roMessagePort")
             videoScreen.SetMessagePort(port)

             videoScreen.SetContent( { url: "http://myvideo.com/myAdVideo.mp4",
                                                     StreamFormat: "mp4"
                                                   } )
              while true
                   msg = wait(0, screen.GetMessagePort())
                   if msg.isScreenClosed() then
                         return
                   endif
              end while
End Sub

' On a poster screen already setup, you can add an ad and set the display mode via:
    screen.SetAdURL(sdAdUrl, hdAdURL)
    screen.SetAdDisplayMode("scale-to-fit")

    while true
         msg = wait(0, screen.GetMessagePort())

         ' handle other events as normal
 
         if msg.isAdSelected() then
             ' play ad video
             PlayAdVideo()
         endif
    end while
